Denmark’s Ministry of Business just announced the government will raise the minimum age, from 13 to 16, at which companies can lawfully obtain children’s data.
The company is appealing to regulators to let them lower the age from 13 to 10 for its Quest headset. This despite growing concern around the world about how virtual reality and AI overall could be harmful to young children without first understanding its impact on mental health and privacy.
The FTC said the company left sensitive genetic and health data unsecured and deceived its customers.
Salesforce is buying Airkit.ai, which builds low-code, AI-powered e-commerce customer service agents. You might have thought Salesforce could already do that, but presumably Airkit does it better. It doesn’t hurt that the company founders sold a previous business to Salesforce, the company was partly funded by Salesforce Ventures, and the product is already listed on AppExchange. Price was not announced.
